----------------------------------------------------------------------------------MUSEUM WILL BE CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS

In 2019, the Museum is renewed to present to the public the permanent galleries dedicated to the Pre-Columbian Art and Colonial Art collections in the ground floor. For this reason, it will close its doors from February 19 to April 11.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, emblem of the national museums’ system of the National Ministry of Culture. Of its several characteristics, there are three that make it unique: First, its extraordinary artistic heritage, which makes it the largest public collection in Latin America. Among its more than 12,000 pieces, two collections stand out: the collection of nineteenth-century European art, considered the most important in the region, and the collection of Argentine art, beyond any doubt the most valuable of its kind worldwide.

​Walking along the 24 exhibition halls of the ground floor, visitors will encounter sculptures by Barrias and Rodin, paintings by El Greco and Rembrandt, the magnificent Goya´s room, and the most important Latin American collection of impressionists and post-impressionism, from Manet to Sorolla, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Degas. Towards the end of the tour, the visitor will find a selection of works by Argentinean masters: Pueyrredón, Sívori, Della Valle, de la Cárcova and the fantastic works by Cándido López, among many others.

The first floor is devoted to the art of the 20th century, most to Argentinean and Latin American art, but international art, too. Its exhibition rooms bring together several avant-garde masters from the beginning of the century such as Klee, Kandinsky, De Chirico, Carra, Modigliani, Picasso and Léger. Also, works by Rafael Barradas, Xul Solar, Pedro Figari, Joaquín Torres García, Emilio Pettoruti and Alicia Penalba. Post-war trends are represented by artists such as Nicholson, Fontana, Dubuffet, Henry Moore, Rothko, Pollock, Nevelson, Fautrier, Kemble, Sakai, Testa and Greco. Works by Gyula Kosice, Julio Le Parc and Martha Boto cover Argentine optical and kinetic art. Argentine art from 1960 to 1980 is exposed through works by Ernesto Deira, Jorge de la Vega, Rómulo Macció, Luis Felipe Noé, Antonio Saura, Carlos Alonso, Antonio Seguí, Juan Carlos Distéfano, Edgardo Giménez and Marta Minujin, among others.

A second feature of the museum that should be pointed out is its top-level staff. It is characterized not only for its Excellency and professionalism, but also for the passion and the thrust with which they undertake their different tasks, from the restoration and conservation of the works and their staging, to the maintenance and care of the historic building.

The Museum is closed on January 1, May 1, June 27 and on December 24, 25, and 31.
